Culture:
-Old Teachings: The old teachings or Haleya are the ancient ways of the Vidhvansaka. They celebrate three gods, a god of diplomacy and peace, a god of war and death, and a goddess of love and caring. The Old Teachings say that all life must be kept simple and nothing is to be wasted, this gave rise to the houses made of native woods and leaves. Though the buildings were made with primitive materials, the buildings they crafted were immensely intricate and were beautifully designed. The Old Teachings held nature in high regard and it was considered terrible luck to your family to defile or misuse nature. To clear your bad name from this, an Old Teachings Shaman has to put you through a ritual of cleansing and then would reach into your soul to extract the taintedness of your actions. If one lived a good life with the old teachings, when one died, one would go to the Endless Habbada - or feast. And there, one sat with all their loved ones, happily conversing with loved ones and new friends.
-New Teachings: New Teachings emphasize the honor and glorification of the gods, which are the same from the old teachings but still lack names. The New Teachings focus less on the simplicity of living and allow for more technology but many who practice this sect of religion still live in the intricate houses of nature.
-Radicals: The Radical section of the planet's populous can actually be divided into further subsects but in general these people are the ones who have broke off from most teachings and have embraced technology and finer living. Many people who are classified as radical are the immigrants to the planet, though it's not unheard of to have Vidhvansaka in this group.
-Other cultural norms: Shamans are the Vidhvansakan's name for Force users, which are rare among the peoples. If a shaman child is born, it is forced into breeding with other shaman or family lines of shaman. High shaman have extremely high levels of midi-clorian counts detectable by shaman. Four shaman must agree that someone is a high shaman for it to be valid. For government processes, a representative from a set of sectors, larger towns like Dari can have upwards of 60 sectors. Women Vidhvansakan are treated fairly and allowed presence in government for all decisions. A lot of art comes from those who follow the Old Teachings and depicts many abstract seems often telling stories of old. Children are always welcomed in many things as it's believed they bring life and a new, untainted minds. Food is often made extravagantly and almost always made from fresh ingredients. Military personnel are always volunteers that fight for pride and honor, they almost never have wives or other dependencies but despite that, the reproduction rates do not suffer. In traditional villages, all work is done without actual pay, but the denizens of the village are taken care of through a complex system of give and take.
Technology: Technology varies greatly by area on this planet. Tribes of Vidhvansaka that practice solely Old Teachings career little for technology. New Teachings villages and towns do live with better armor and weapons but still reject things that are meant to exemplify life in a radicalist manner. Radicals live with full technology of the galaxy in cities and towns.
